ROUND 4, PICK 113

KYLE WILBER

LB, Wake Forest

The Cowboys were looking for pass rush help and Wilber will help address that need. He had 13.5 sacks in college and his focus is to get to the quarterback and get after the ball carrier. The Cowboys consider him an overachiever and they love his work ethic. He should be able to be a situational rusher as a rookie.

ROUND 4, PICK 135

MATT JOHNSON

S, Eastern Washington

The Cowboys need some answers at safety and they believe hardworking Matt Johnson can develop into a solution there. Johnson started every game he was healthy enough to play in college. He is a solid tackler with good ball skills. Johnson had 17 interceptions in college. He should contribute first on special teams as a rookie, then develop into a center fielder.

ROUND 5, PICK 152

DANNY COALE

WR, Virginia Tech

He has above average speed and is a very good route runner with excellent hands. Coale can play inside or outside receiver and should be able to compete for the fourth receiver spot as a rookie. He is a hard worker and reliable, starting in 54 of the 55 games he played in college. He is also a willing contributor on special teams as a cover guy, gunner as well as returner.

ROUND 6, PICK 186

JAMES HANNA

TE, Oklahoma

Hanna is a fast and athletic tight end who fits the current NFL trend. He has blazing 4.4 speed in the 40-yard dash. He didn’t catch many passes a senior but as a junior he showed his big play ability with seven touchdowns on 18 receptions. He needs to work to become a better run-blocker. He could help the Cowboys as an h-back or move tight end and also have an impact in special teams as a rookie.

ROUND 7, PICK 222

CALEB McSURDY

LB, Montana

McSurdy was a highly productive tackler in college, leading his team in tackles his final two years. The Cowboys worked him out as a fullback and will consider making the move in camp, though McSurdy classifies himself strictly as a linebacker. If he makes the team, his initial contributions should be on special teams.

THE TAKE

“We believe they have the physical ability to play their positions. They can be good special teams players for us as well. Then you look at the character of each of them. We believe they have the right makeup to be really good players and that allows them to achieve their potential. If you have a lot of these guys on your team you practice better and you play better.” — head coach Jason Garrett
